President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 523

After some time, Ally gave a faint smile. "It’s said that Hardy is the president of the Fowler Group now. He excels at being a kept man."

"What did you just say?"

Irritated, Lindsey widened her eyes and raised her hand, wanting to give Ally a slap across the face.

But her hand froze in the air.

It turned out Ally, who was smiling sweetly and amiably, gripped Lindsey’s wrist.

"You’re mad that I’m right, aren’t you? But I’m not the same person I was two years ago! Besides, my mother gave me 20% of the shares of the Fowler Group. No matter which post Hardy holds, he works for me. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll lose his job if you hit me?"

As expected, Lindsey was stunned.

How could she have forgotten that this woman held 20% of the shares of the Fowler Group? If it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t have allowed Hardy to be with her back then!

Two years had passed, and Ally had a sharp tongue still!

Zack, who was not far away from them, saw something was going on here and came over, asking, "What’s going on?"

Suddenly, Lindsey put on an aggrieved look and started to grumble in an injured tone, "Well, Zack! What’s wrong with Ally? I just came to say hi, but she wanted to hit me all of a sudden!"

Zack frowned. Aware of what had happened between Hardy and Ally, he thought that Ally overreacted because she was upset.

Therefore, he spoke harshly, "Ally, show some respect! How can you hit Mrs. Lawrence?"

Seeing Zack defending her, Lindsey began to wail to embarrass Ally.

Zack got annoyed. Why was his daughter such a troublemaker?

"Ally, apologize to Lindsey!"

Apologize to her? No way!

Ally couldn’t help giving a sneer. Judging from the way she gripped Lindsey’s wrist, it really looked as if she was going to hit her.

But why wouldn’t her father ask her about it? Why would he rather trust an outsider than his daughter?

Ally compressed her lips into a thin line. Two years ago when she was involved in that scandal, her dad also blamed her for her promiscuous lifestyle indiscriminately. Now it still sent a chill to her heart when she thought of it.

"What if I don’t?"

"You!"

Lindsey snorted. "So this is how the Fowlers teach their daughters? She's allowed to make a mistake and then get away with it without making an apology! Ha! For someone who climbed into a men’s bed at 18, no wonder she’d do something like this! Fortunately, Angie isn’t like her. Or I wouldn’t have had my son marrying her."

Zack turned livid upon hearing those mean words coming from Lindsey’s lips, growling, "Ally, you must apologize to her NOW!"

Ally got agitated too and raised her voice. "I didn’t hit her!"

"Hey, how dare you deny it! We all saw it, and you still want to deny it? You are meaner than you look, brat!"

"Exactly! You raised a hand to Lindsey. If we hadn’t stopped you, your hand would have landed on her face."

"She’s an elder. How can you treat her like this? That’s so rude."

Lindsey’s friends chimed in with her, twisting the fact. Zack, trembling with anger, raised his hand abruptly and slapped Ally’s face hard.

Ally’s head was thrown sideways by the slap. Seeing Zack take an action, the people around lowered their voices and sat back with expectant faces.

At this point, Angie noticed something went wrong and trotted over from the stage.

"What’s going on?"

Someone told her what just happened in a low voice immediately.

Hearing that, Angie widened her eyes and grumbled in an aggrieved tone, "Ally, how could you have done that? Even if you don’t want Hardy to marry me, you can’t raise a hand to Mrs. Lawrence!"
